3.6 Class(s) that are legit

take the class...buy the book

Would like to know (and please post a link) if anyone out there has taken a course on the 3.6 that is legit and not a review of everything just so they can get your money.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about this revolution and no one is prepared nor does anyone it seems willing to put together a legit program to teach us this 3.6 thing.

Thank you in advance.

So what exactly are you learning when you take these courses?

They had an example and is a good nugget....its on the free gse video..

I'm not going back and watching the video. The below is a poorly written from memory example:

Market condition section. In their example, they included market trends from a national source. It showed a declining market. BUT it said they relied on the sales and listings that the appraiser used in the report for the market trends and not the national data.

Excellent example. Just because a national source (fed. Zillow, gse) says the market has declined, may not be true for your market segment.

For every report I do i google: zillow market trends for 28806

Why stuff garbage you don’t believe has any merit in your reports?

Why stuff garbage you don’t believe has any merit in your reports?

They are not all garage, all of the time. Zillow is usually the most accurate and aligns with me. Redfin is way off. FRED is to dated.

Because that is what uws and AMC reviews use. The GESs. Avoid revision requests. If the gses aduit my reports, one less thing to worry about. It was already answered in my report.

You could ask the GSE the same question. Why did they include garage market trends in their example but rely on the sales that they used in the reports?

The same reason we use stupid sales to bracket the subject property.

The same reason I still state 15%net and 25% gross....some AMC reviews are idiots.

Similar to why the new UAD ask for sales that you consider but did not use. Why?

We do not just produce a report...we produce a product that no one believes what is in it and questions everything. . In other words, we have to get in front of it.

For a good time, pop these links to your AI tool of choice and say "I'm a residential appraiser - read and learn about the new UAD 3.6 requirements, then create mini learning course / guide for me so that I can learn and be prepared for the new standard. Instead of purely technical specifications, focus on practice application for my day to day work as an appraiser."

Here's the result from throwing that question at Claude (see attached - not verified for accuracy). Enjoy.

Thanks!

Welcome, no need for some fancy course - tell the lenders you read this when they ask and that you are just waiting on the software providers. But if they want to pay for your 3.6 course, they are certainly welcome!
